I'm really looking forward to it, but also a little apprehensive because we're going to be riding on the road. <br /><br />Have fun and good luck at your LIVE race! Earlier on I had hoped that my annual Firecracker 5K would be live (and that I'd be recovered and running by then), but it went virtual. Honestly though, if it had been live I would have skipped it. I have zero desire to walk a real race.<br /><br />Have a great holiday weekend!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884362622170497685.post-86067694353400746692020-07-03T15:02:56.273-05:002020-07-03T15:02:56.273-05:00Today was disgustingly humid, but luckily I wasn&#...Today was disgustingly humid, but luckily I wasn't running.

I don't mind the humidity either. Wow! You did a LOT of virtual races. Good for you! I have an actual in-person race on my schedule for the end of next month. It's a small one on the trails. They will be using social distancing at the start and finish. Runners must wear masks before and after (but not during) the run. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it actually happens.<br /><br />Hope you are having fun with your hubby on the long bike ride. 50 miles!?!?!
